Where do I start……
PROS:
-Great location, short walk to the metro
-Check in was easy
-Host was kind and communicative
CONS:
-ROACHES! The first night I killed a roach. I was gross out but it was super late and I was on my way to bed so I dismissed it. The next morning I went to throw something away underneath the kitchen sink and I saw 2 dead roaches. I also noticed that the floor had food crumbs along the edge. At this time I’m super focused in my inspection only to find a previously smashed roach on the kitchen wall. I immediately text the host and he had someone come and re-clean after I left for the day. I get home late the second night only to find that the same roach is still on the wall
-Patio door lock was broken and unable to lock. I noticed this the first night and reported it to host. While I was gone the second day, someone came by and “fixed” it however it was still broken. At this point I really didn’t feel safe and was already looking for a new place to go. The host understood and I was compensated.
-Shower Drain was completely backed up. By the time I was 3 mins into my shower, I was also standing in a pool of un drained water.
-Couch stains that looked like human secretions were visible. The “clean up team” solution was covering the couch with a thin blanket…..I never sat on the couch
-Walls might as well be made of paper. You will hear everything in the hallway (This is not the owners fault).
-Dryer did not work (FE code kept coming up)
-Washing machine made clothes smell worst after wash. It had a stale old smell to it
My stay was cut short due to the security and sanitary issues. The host was extremely nice during this whole process.
